Fibromyalgia is a medical condition that is characterized by widespread pain throughout the body.
The condition is long-term, although the severity of symptoms can vary. There may be times when symptoms are mild and other times when symptoms are severe.
According to the Mayo Clinic, researchers think that fibromyalgia may develop due to changes in the way the brain processes and recognizes pain. Although not everything is completely understood about the condition, it is thought that changes in certain brain chemicals may lead to a chemical imbalance.
